Either someone realized that a combat ready A/C should be able to fly a mission that day or some mechanic grounded his ride so he was forced to grab the hack to make the meeting.
Personally I'll go with option 2.

Rich, I agree most likely #2, but -- who? If it is recorded, we should give him credit even though he didn't bring a fighter!

Also curious where was the meeting.
